“KUYAYKY'S SIXTH ANNUAL HOLIDAY BENEFIT CONCERT”
 

The Kuyayky Foundation invites you to help bring a smile

to the children of Peru’s Andes.

Miami (11/14/08).-  For the sixth consecutive year the Kuyayky Foundation will present its Annual Holiday Benefit Concert to raise funds to buy toys, food baskets and Andean musical instruments for at least 500 poverty stricken children in the Central Andes of Peru.

The Foundation's Peru Chapter will also host this year the first Children and Youth Choir Contest in the Andean region of Jauja, in which participants will prepare choral arrangements of traditional Andean carols.  

The concert in Miami will feature the best of Miami's world music and dance artists and headlining the event will be Kuyayky, recently featured by the Smithsonian Institution. 

Along with the music you will be enjoying food and a photo exhibit.  The event will be held this Saturday December 13th from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at an intimate location in Miami Beach.   

The Kuyayky Foundation's mission is to work towards the economic and social development  of Andean peoples and culture through performance, research, education and development projects. The Kuyayky Foundation was founded in 2003 by the young Peruvian musicians of Kuyayky- who were recently recognized by the Interamerican Development Bank as "Youth Leaders". For the past sixth years, the Kuyayky Foundation Holiday Concert has collected funds that have been used to bring joy, food and toys to more than 5, 000 children and mothers in the city of Jauja. The Kuyayky Foundation is accredited by the United States Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c) 3, tax-exempt organization.
